On Tuesday, the hubs and I are off to Singapore. It’s been planned for months; a delightful perk of being married to a Formula 1 fan. For most of the racing season, he’s content to watch the races from home, but for the past four years, he and a friend have chosen one race each year to attend in person.
Last year, for the first time, the friend’s wife and I joined them for the race in Austin, Texas. Well, she and I didn’t actually “go” to the race, but we had the best time.

This year the husbands chose the race in Singapore and I can hardly wait. If you have a “must see, do or taste” suggestion for Singapore, I’d love to hear it.
The timing for this wee vacation is perfect. The last few weeks have been unbelievably busy on the publishing front with Book II barely out of the gate and Book III at the post, believe me, I’m ready for some R&R.

My parents have lived there for many years, and one of my sisters has moved into my grandmother’s house and turned it into her cottage.
The library does an outstanding job promoting local authors, even ones like me who have moved away. They encourage library usage through innovative measures – did I mention the fishing poles? Not only do they loan out books and current issues of popular magazines, they also have a large collection of DVDs, videos, large print books and talking books. They offer free Internet and wireless service and if the mood strikes you, you can borrow a pedometer.
